Materials, stock and reservations

What you will learn

Interpret availability and trace the demand committing material.

Worked example

With 100 kg on hand and 25 kg firmly reserved, available stock is 75 kg. Tomorrow’s receipt is not today’s physical stock.

From data to result

  1. 1On hand
  2. 2Firm reservation
  3. 3Available
  4. 4Coverage

Open an item to see stock by warehouse, location, lot or serial number. Available means on-hand stock minus firm reservations; provisional reservations support simulation without reducing the real balance. Order requirements remain traceable through material lines and reservations. With external inventory, completed consumption remains pending synchronisation so committed stock is not reused.

Materials, stock and reservations
  1. 1
    Open Materials to review articles, units, families, categories and warehouses. Open an article and View stock for warehouse, lot or serial balances.
  2. 2
    Distinguish physical, reserved and available quantities. Provisional reservations are not always firm. Check incoming supplies and order requirements; future receipts are not physical stock today.
  3. 3
    Check whether Integrator owns the data before editing. Pending external consumption prevents already used material being reused until stock synchronises; do not compensate with invented stock.
  4. 4
    For shortages, identify article, required quantity and reported availability. Check allocations, units and receipt dates before simulating again.

Common questions

An option is missing or I cannot edit

Check active company, licence, permissions and integration-managed fields. Do not use a direct URL to bypass restrictions.

I cannot find records

Clear filters and check page, dates and company. There may be no accessible data; do not create duplicates to test.

I saved but cannot see the expected effect

Reopen the record and verify. Saving data does not publish a required simulation. Check whether the first write succeeded before repeating it.
